I think that only water direct from the tap should go in the kettle.
Nothing else.
A clean mug might be 99.9% clean, but the inside of the kettle is not getting washed any time soon.
I don't think you can in fact microwave an empty cup to warm it up, that sounds bad.
How cold is it inside their house?
Even if every single person who owns one of these is rich enough to just pay up, and it doesn't reduce the number of them, that's still good news for the rest of us who will benefit from the money being spent on public goods.
(and it might put off some people who were thinking of getting one)
Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Even if your cat does not mess with flowers, if the pollen gets on their fur and they clean themselves, congrats, you have a dead cat now.
DO NOT
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
Just clicked on a crochet tutorial video that didn't have any chapters and landed EXACTLY on the part of the pattern that I needed.
I haven't even been watching the video, I've done everything else from the written pattern.
It feels like a very minor superpower.
Thigh high yellow boots, I see the vision
Ah yes thank you
I don't know that song but my brain saw it and decided that if you elide "fiver" into a single syllable you can do pink pony club

A CNN investigation into AI chatbots has found that most of the chatbots tested are not only failing to prevent potential harm – they are actively assisting users by giving them information that could be used in preparing attacks.

A HUNDRED pound note? Nobody will even take a £50!
Scriptwriters would love me, I often have to say in meetings "are you saying...." and then rephrase in simpler words with more context.

Bluesky screenshot of two consecutive tweets Gabby HC @scriblit.bsky.social Badenoch, posing in a tank, petulantly explaining that she's NOT 'scared of hedgehogs', they just upset her Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social They say that if a badger bites your hand you'll come away with fewer fingers. In my experience that's not strictly true. You'll come away with the same number of fingers but some will be smaller. Steer well clear of badgers.
Synchronicity

I think we can do wildlife and iconic British at the same time: City pigeon eating a dropped sandwich on £5.
Herring Gull stealing chips on £10.
Urban Fox going through a bin on £20.
Mute swan breaking a man’s arm on the £50.
Once again, the culture warriors deeply misunderstand the deep underlying psyche of the British people. The British people were offered nice animals and they overwhelmingly favoured nice animals.
I think one of the Scottish banknotes has an otter, and we're jealous
I try very hard not to have a thing I hate on my plate in the first place

I'm so disappointed when I see really cool artwork in a post and go to share it l, only to realise it doesn't have alt-text. Because then I don't share it. And I want to share cool art with people. Please add alt-text to any images you post. You can even enable in-app reminders to help you remember.
With the amount of sick you sound, the latter considerations are not relevant.
Depends how sick, and also how annoying it would be for my colleagues, and how much I like those colleagues.
And how annoying it would be for me when I return to work.
Just watched a TV ad which ended with "always keep away from children" and that's sound life advice right there
